Not even the wild west was that liberal about guns. the famous gunfight at the OK corral? The Clantons didn't want to give up their guns when they came into town, the law came to force the issue, and the shoot out ensued. Much like they do with everything else, the Republicans only believe the 1950's pop culture version of the wild west.

Wait, so if I'm reading this right it means that if gun laws are enforced in Florida (or parts of it) someone gets a hefty fine?

Basically, this law makes it a crime to try and create or enforce any gun law below the state level. State-wide gun laws will still be enforced, but, for instance, if the county where I lived had a law barring guns from libraries (which I believe it does), then that law now cannot be enforced without facing a fine. |

It's interesting from a law-school perspective. Are states allowed to overturn local government ordinances?
But it's absolutely ridiculous in practice. If you open fire into the air in your backyard, killing dozens, and a cop arrests you, the cop will be fired and then the town fined. But if the same officer tasers an innocent person to death on a railway station floor, they'll be put on paid leave for two weeks then promoted.

Pay me enough money, and I'll make you a Canadian citizen. If our fucking economy would pick up and the dollar strengthen, I'd have an awesome joke to make here that hasn't been done to death or anything. Instead I will offer to pay in puns, orgasms, or episodes of Quantum Leap, as per your particular desires. All, of course, would be of the highest quality. so dose this mean i can test out my death-ray prototype in my backyard? Try writing stuff on the moon. I suggest "CHA" to start. |

..... I don't see how this is going to make Florida any safer. But if you plan on traveling to Florida might want to buy a cowboy hat, some spurs and a gun holster. lol Beyond that, isn't this a clear case of big government imposing onlocal rule and property rights? IF people don't want others spraying bullets onto their lawn (since those things travel) or bringing guns into banks and parks, shouldn't they have some say instead of special interests in some distant state capital? |
